I like the revised teleport at the beginning & the 2:47 event. Extremely solid run

changed the listed game version to 5.1.1

good job missing that speed pot at 4:21 :P

You're 100% right, unfortunately. Potion lottery is why I exclusively stick to using glitches/oob. The lottery is unavoidable, but it's a lot more reasonable when you have fewer item spawns to gamble on. Don't let this game take away too much of your time from the important things, and good luck! :)

good stuff! I took the liberty of adding together the precise times of each level together, removing 7s from your specified time w/o loads

for some reason I never thought about the use of firebombs to make the cannon sequence quicker. Always relied on hagbane. Might actually make a BW approach better

Posting this in the forums as its too-niche to be its own category. To everybody whose been looking for something like this, Enjoy!

Me and a fellow runner have invested a good amount of time into breaking the chaos wastes maps the past few weeks. We're still piecing some stuff together but there's this video here if you're looking for something to sate your curiosity

It's not a format that will make it onto the leaderboards though, it's unfortunately too niche and full of RNG to be a good speedrunning mode

You can record & submit single mission runs under the '2P All Objectives' category. Make sure familiarize yourself with the rules before submitting anything.

Happy running!

I'd be happy to elaborate on the current state of the board.

Vermintide 2 is quite unique in the aspect that many core elements which influence speedrunning are frequently changing. Maps, career talents, weapon balancing, etc are the largest offenders.

Since the board isn't categorized by major version differences, these changes have compounded into a source of frustration where many records are now unobtainable and the enjoyability of the hobby as a whole has decreased. One of the most recent patches that went overboard with wall placements is responsible for the example you've provided (empire in flames).

these discrepancies have existed since before I became head admin. I plan on categorizing the board by major versions when the next expansion - Chaos Wastes - is released. This should provide a much-needed clean slate while preserving the history of legacy runs.

Theres currently no planned direction for the board. I'm just not sure where to take it because of WoM. The addition of cataclysm, new enemies, stagger/health system, numerous career overhauls, and changed mechanics have shaken up a lot of glitchless and any% runs which are now impossible to replicate. So are any outdated runs going to be moved to a legacy board? I can't make that decision on my own. I recommend bringing the discussion to the runners discord.

Good Evening folks!

A few weeks ago, the new expansion pack Winds of Magic was released. With it, a seriously huge problem threatens every run to-date.

The expansion includes A HUGE AMOUNT of anti-speedrunning mechanics & enemies. Notable any% tech has been butchered, and career talents have been reworked, making some careers faster & others slower. Maps have been layered with even more walls to keep the player inbounds.

We currently have no idea what direction the board will take, but for now we'll have to wait until things settle down as the desire to run at this state is minimal.

thanks for listening
